Congratulations to Shane & Simon P, who have both recently been awarded the IBF Certificate of Competence for their 31 Count Jo Kata, joining John and Chris, who were the first to qualify. An IBF Certificate of Competence is awarded in an area that is additional to our syllabus and is based purely on merit and not on a members existing grade. We intend to introduce more certificates of competence to reflect the wider range of skills that members are learning.
